Issue
I can't seem to find how to print out the date of a file. I'm so far able to print out all the files in a directory, but I need to print out the dates with it.
I know I need to attach a date format with the echo of the entry, but all I can't find the correct format.
echo "Please type in the directory you want all the files to be listed"
read directory
for entry in "$directory"/*
do
echo "$entry"
done
Solution
You can use the
stat
command
stat -c %y "$entry"

%y time of last modification, human-readable
